CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS | ISSUE #3

The Linguistics of Politics is the topic of 10plus1’s third issue. This vast field of applied linguistics traditionally encompasses the language of politicians, political parties, institutions and movements from a lexical, pragmatic, and text linguistic point of view (cf. Schröter & Carius 2012; Niehr 2014; Girnth 2015). In recent years, the focus has been extended to aspects of campaigns and campaigning (cf. Pappert 2011; Trent et al. 2011), political frame and framing (cf. Klein 2008; Wehling 2016), discourse linguistic questions (cf. Wengeler 2003; Spieß 2011; Roth 2015), and computer-mediated communication, particularly with respect to social media (cf. Diekmannshenke 2013) and an increasing orientation towards citizens and recipients (e.g. Social TV, cf. Klemm & Michel 2014a). The latter shows that methodologically there is a perceptible shift from a pure focus on analyses of products to a holistic capture of production (cf. Wodak 2015), product and reception processes of political language and communication (cf. Klemm & Michel 2014b).

Issue #3 welcomes contributions of all formats situated within the broad frame of the linguistics of politics. Papers may deal with specific aspects, or give an overview of a broader field of research. We also invite contributions focusing on theoretical and/or methodological issues.
